Of course there's no atmospheric warming for the last decade (I never said otherwise, are you seeing things?). If you think that has any implications for global warming theory you're an idiot.
If I knew you were a religiously brainwashed nutjob who would kill your neighbors if I, say, burned a picture of FSM, and the FBI came to me and explained that, and I did it anyway, I would be as responsible for the killing as you are.
Here's another one, say a street is being covered by a crazy sniper killing anyone wearing red. If you are unaware and I put a red jacket on you and send you into the street, am I innocent?
I'd say it would be playing enron accounting to say that the CO2 I exhale comes from the carbon used in food production. You could say I shit fossil CO2 when I eat food fertilized with fossil fertilizer but I don't exhale it.
He knew what would happen, it was culturally inevitable for the people of Afghanistan. That doesn't say anything good about them, but he knew what he was doing would likely cost lives and he did it anyway. He's at least as bad as those who physically did the killing, he lives in a first-world country, the FBI even came to him and described the implications, he wasn't some religiously brainwashed bronze-age illiterate goat farmer.
I tend to agree with his ideas, based on measurements, seems to me more evidence based than the output of computer models.
Because as we all know computers are basically ouija boards.
And you'd have to have your head buried deep in the sand if you think his theory isn't utter horseshit. If you were really a skeptic you'd be skeptical of what you accept.
Skeptic is a complete misnomer. Disagreer I guess isn't wrong, but it's quite vague. And personally moon landing denier or vaccine denier are right on the same level as holocaust denier in my familiarity, and scientifically they do all belong in the same category.
Funny (and sad) thing is that this advertising campaign will be very, very effective. It's not too childish or ridiculous for the target audience. It's what many are already thinking.
"Denier" has no more association with "holocaust denier" than "consumer" has with "consumer of human flesh." But don't tell that to your raging persecution complex.
Nixon would be a far-left Democrat today but I think Reagan would still be very much in the Republican party...he was a borrow-and-spend pro-war social conservative (although we'd probably just call him a bigot by today's standards, socially he was off today's charts to the right) just like Bush Jr. Fiscally though he would be a centrist, leftish among Republicans today, but I don't think the Democrats would have him.
I've always thought that the best of both worlds, assuming some kind of digital voting system, would be if you had the ability to make "referral votes" on certain issues. Say for example you have politician A (who may just be an average joe who does this in his spare time) who you think normally makes good decisions on tech issues. There's a tech bill coming up and you don't have time to read it or just can't be assed so you, B, and some other guys C, D and E refer your vote on the issue through A. A then votes on the issue, also casting votes for B, C, D and E in the process.
Now say A takes a bribe and votes unusually on the next tech bill. B, C, D and E don't trust him again, A's political career is effectively over. It allows for representation to coexist with direct democracy and gives politicians the possibility of only making 1 kamikaze decision against the will of the people, vs. a multi-year term. If anyone passing referral votes were forced to lock and publish their choice ahead of time so that referral voters couldn't be tricked, they couldn't even do that, although that means even more potential problems of vote coercion.
I see their new proxy setup page on the "hydra bay." I wonder if there's a way to set up a proxy that is served on an.onion/.i2p site and gathers its data through the TOR network as well. So when a user visits the darknet site, the proxy goes back through through the darknet to fetch TPB. It would be slow as hell but also resilient and anonymous as hell.
For instance, natural selection will favor people with fast reflexes and better depth perception because most of us drive cars.
I wish. With ultra-safe cars and super-low speed limits my driving skills are about as useful as DDR skills as long as filing insurance claims aren't a mortal danger:-(
Opposes gay rights and abortion, don't forget to mention that...and then there's the whole economic/regulatory side of things where liberals and libertarians are in strong opposition. 99% agreement on 25% of the issues.

That strawman just busted through the wall and shouted "OH YEAH!"

Oh Jesus no, no *atmospheric* warming for the last decade!?!?!?

LOL plenty of wrong assumptions under number 7. And you don't exhale fossil-sourced CO2. At least I don't.
And the warming around turbines is very localized. They stir up the air around them.
That fucker in Florida? He has a lot of blood on his hands, make his life miserable for me wouldya?

You won't make that much outside of North America or Europe/UK. And that is a shit-ton of money.
Windows Mobile flopped and took Palm down with it, HTC was lucky to survive.
